A smiling man with long dark hair, a beard and a vertical red tilak on his forehead sits on a red velvet seat in front of an ornate gold-leaf throne. He is draped in a very large garland of white jasmine, red roses, yellow marigolds, green leaves, lotus buds, mangoes and red apples, and wears an orange-brown dhoti with a bare upper body. Several garlands fall across his lap and onto the floor. The scene looks like a formal satsang or ceremonial honouring, with the wider background in deep red drapery.
